A new apartment development near West Tyvola Road and South Tryon Street is opening soon, the latest in an apartment boom that shows no signs of stopping.

Sycamore at Tyvola will include 288 one- and two-bedroom apartments, and developer Switzenbaum & Associates plans to start tours and leasing in mid-April. Stretching across 32 acres, the buildings have been "designed with leisure and privacy in mind," a representative said.

The projected rents at the new building weren't available Monday. At the adjacent Tyvola Centre apartments, also owned by Switzenbaum, rents range from $955 to $1,340 per month.
